How is it the end of June already?! The passage of time comes for us all.

Can’t believe they made a game out of my weekend plans

A board game called Pig Goes Pop

The KFC strawberry shortcake milkshake I had yesterday is the best milkshake I’ve ever had in my life. I must purchase another.

Gen Z love clicky pens because they’re no cap

Feeling pretty smart about buying a MacBook Neo last week

I forgot to post about this when it happened but as of a few weeks ago my student loan is completely paid off 🎉

I don't know if it was the heat or what but I got a bit ranty at the end of the show yesterday about computers being friendly to me and also making noises

🎙️ 230 - Aspirational Chorizo

Me and @adam were in the top 300 fundraisers on Tiltify for the third year in a row 🎉

An enamel pin that says Top Fundraiser 2025 on it and there is an otter cuddling the letters.

My @penaddict notebook arrived last week along with a bottle of Fire on Fire but it felt appropriate to wait for the right pen, which arrived today: a Pilot Prera in orange. Also I think I like broad nibs now?

Update 2026-06-23

I've been informed that this is a calligraphy nib rather than a broad

A notebook that has a Polaroid of a man holding a pen on the left, an orange and clear fountain pen on the right, and a sample of the writing in an orange ink

TIL Lauren Ash of Superstore fame dropped an album last year and it's pretty good. Sways more towards pop than rock for my tastes but it's fun regardless.

This is too many to keep track of

There's a deluxe version of Skydxddy's Traumacore with seven new tracks...added at the start of the album?! That is so chaotic.

New tracks are very good though.

Actually, his full name is Biblically Accurate Baracus

If you're into cryptic crosswords you should check out Unch. Issue 4 is up for preorder right now and it's only a fiver.

In 2003 me and two of my friends went down a very steep hill in an old bathtub and my friend broke his leg in three places because it went through the front of the bath when we hit the bottom and we came up with that without the internet

this is a toot about the social media ban

Have we considered sending in a three year old who really wants a snack to solve the world’s problems because those mfs can negotiate with the best of them

I wonder how the people who bought every apple watch band colour in the first couple of years are doing now

Yesterday me and @keenan walked through a nice little park near the river. Grass, trees, benches, a lil cafe, and an 8ft 3d billboard...thing blocking one of the paths in the park advertising the Disclosure Day movie.

who on earth approved such a thing

edit: found it

Dusted off the Instax yesterday with @keenan

Two polaroids on a green board. One is a London skyline, the other is a two-person selfie

My dad gave me this Fisher Space Pen he got in the 70s with this worn off branding on the side that I wasn’t able to recognise or read. Someone on the @penaddict Slack correctly identified it as Rauma Repola and I was able to find a listing for one on eBay to see what it originally looked like.

New pen day!

Wolverine looks incredible

🎵 TWSBI of the week

Fluorite Purple with Tom's Studio Juniper. I waited until this morning because last night the ink looked really dark but even in daylight it's just a very dark ink, I can hardly see the purple in it at all.

A notebook that says TWSBI Eco Fluorite Purple and Toms Studio Juniper. A purple fountain pen is underneath

Drag and drop? In this economy?!

men will manufacture literally anything out of a solid block of metal and put it on kickstarter instead of going to therapy

Broke my own rule and backed a hardware kickstarter

I just called the weather app “the sky menu” to give you some idea how much my brain isn’t working this morning

All the AI shite and now I also have to think about switching search engines. Fucks sake

🖊️ The Mildliner site now has all the Japanese codes for mix pens since my full set turned up today.

The Pilot Airstep branding is so chaotic

Happy Lagwagon Day to all those who celebrate

I’ve been meaning to pick up some of the Paper Apps games for a while so a 26% sale seemed like a good reason to pick up the whole set.

Brian Butterfield will return in Avengers: Doomsday

The most egregious change in iOS26 isn't liquid glass it's the bluetooth changes that means it takes ~45 seconds before my car will be ready to play music where previously it was < 10 seconds.

My entire life there has been one Aromat and now there are two more types. What a world.

Three tubes of Aromat. One normal, one with garlic, one with chilli

TWSBI doing everything they can to take my money as efficiently as possible with this release.

I couldn’t help but say “this is democracy manifest” when Baby Knight asked what the polling station and voting was for.

The explore tab on mastodon is usually one joke toot that’s mildly funny and twenty toots each explaining a different atrocity going on in the world

Got my hands on a Zento Signature because I can't let @jason have all the fun. It's nice but I'm glad I didn't pay over retail price though, it's not that nice.

Doctor: Keep a note of every time this happens so we can try and establish a pattern

Me: Yep, ordering a new notebook right now

D: That's not wha—

M: TOO LATE ALREADY ORDERED
